How Computer Vision Is Driving Innovation Across Industries

/in


As a cofounder at Innowise Group with 20 years of experience in IT, Pavel loves helping businesses grow through IoT development.

In today’s rapidly evolving world, the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) is undeniable. Across various industries, AI has emerged as an indispensable tool, offering unparalleled benefits such as automation, cost reduction, time-saving and predictive capabilities. One prominent subset of AI, known as computer vision, is dedicated to empowering machines with the ability to comprehend and interpret visual data from the world around us.

A recent Grand View Research report underscores the significance of computer vision, revealing that the PC-based computer vision systems segment dominated the market with a substantial share of over 52% in 2021. This statistic speaks volumes about the widespread adoption and recognition of computer vision’s immense potential. In fact, the global computer vision market was valued at a staggering $11.22 billion in 2021, and industry experts predict it will continue its upward trajectory with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7% from 2022 to 2030.

The fusion of AI and computer vision is reshaping countless sectors, ranging from healthcare and manufacturing to retail and transportation.

Enhancing Patient Care And Diagnosis

AI and computer vision are transforming healthcare by revolutionizing patient care and diagnosis. AI-powered mobile applications and computer vision tools enable patient monitoring and identification of potential risks based on treatment and disease histories. AI can also analyze medical imaging data like MRIs and CT scans, leading to faster and more accurate diagnoses. Computer vision algorithms can detect anomalies and predict outcomes, even estimating treatment costs based on jaw images.

Computer vision aids in surgery by converting broken bone MRIs into 3D models. Surgeons can visualize these models through augmented reality glasses, improving surgical planning and reducing invasive procedures. Marking areas of interest with computer vision enhances precision and overall surgical outcomes while reducing risks.

10 industries in which information security analysts earn the most

/in


The world is awash in data, and it’s increasingly in need of more information security analysts to protect it.

These math-minded, tech-savvy professionals keep supply chain software running uninterrupted at major retailers and the personal information stored by our hospitals and banks from getting into the wrong hands. Information security analysts develop security policies for staff as well as monitor companies’ software, servers, and email exchanges for cyberthreats. And, in the worst cases, information security analysts are there to clean up after an attack.

So where does an information security analyst make the most money today?

Twingate collected data from the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics program from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics to understand which industry sectors paid the most to security analysts. The demand for information security analysts is forecast by the BLS to rise three times faster than the overall demand for workers in all industries over the next decade. By 2030, American companies will need to hire tens of thousands more information security specialists to monitor their computer systems and growing pools of data.

Some professionals are able to break into the field with just a high school diploma and the right certification, though many employers look for workers with a degree in computer science.

Today, the typical information security analyst takes home $102,600 per year, according to the BLS. That number varies by the sector where the worker is employed. Industry sectors were ranked based on the annual median wage. The data for “industry sector includes” was not included for sectors that had no subsectors. More information about each sector can be found at the BLS.

The most lucrative pay potential for these professionals can be found in Hollywood, large publishing houses, and at major television broadcasters. Working to secure supply chain operations with major wholesalers and retailers can also come with a decent-sized paycheck, per the most recent BLS data.

Industries hit hardest by ransomware – Baltimore Sun

/in


Critical components of U.S. infrastructure, including hospitals and power plants, are increasingly connected to the internet and are at risk of exploitation from cybercriminals lurking in the world’s darkest corners.

And one specific kind of malware attack has leaders in the private and public sectors sounding the alarm over the last two years: ransomware.

Twingate collected data from the FBI’s 2021 Internet Crime Report to show which infrastructure sectors were most often targeted by ransomware attacks. 2021 was the first year in which the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center began tracking ransomware incidents in sectors considered critical infrastructure.

The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received 649 reports of ransomware incidents targeting critical infrastructure in 2021. In a memo in the latest report, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate described the increase in cyberattacks seen last year—not only in infrastructure sectors but overall—as “unprecedented.”

The FBI defines critical infrastructure as assets or systems that “are considered so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on our security, national economy, public health or safety.”

Dozens of attacks have been were leveled at government entities, leading the National Association of State Chief Information Officers to name ransomware its top cybersecurity concern in 2021.

But the frequency of ransomware incidents was even more pronounced in the health care, financial services, and information technology sectors, which saw the most recorded attacks of any other infrastructure sector last year, according to the FBI. The military and defense sector reported the fewest incidents, with just one ransomware attack in 2021.

And these culprits aren’t always lone wolf operations seeking the biggest payout. Most ransomware attacks can be linked to state actors who would harbor more motives than financial gain in sponsoring ransomware attacks. Crypto-tracking company Chainalysis reported that most ransomware payments eventually went to Russian-linked hackers.

The FBI recommends updating operating systems and software, implementing training on phishing,…

Hacker Space Rogue to Release Book on Hacking Group L0pht Heavy Industries in February

/in


PHILADELPHIA, PA, January 11, 2023 — The memoir of world-renowned hacker Cris Thomas “Space Rogue: How the Hackers Known as L0pht Changed the World” is available for pre-order now. The new book, to be released on February 16, 2023, will cover the influential hacking group L0pht Heavy Industries, the hacker underground of the 1990s, the L0pht’s rise to prominence, their testimony in front of the US Senate, their claim of being able to “take down the Internet”, and how their legacy continues to shape the security of the online world today.

“Cyber security has become a critical part of today’s world. The L0pht was there at the start. We helped shape the cyber industry, and form the online world we all live in today.” –Space Rogue

In May 1998, the US Congress invited the seven members of the L0pht to testify on the state of government computer security. Two years later, that same group rode the dot-com bubble to create the preeminent security consultancy the industry has ever known, @stake. Along the way, they stood up against tech giants like Microsoft, Oracle, Novell and others to expose weaknesses in those companies’ premiere products. Despite the L0pht’s technical prowess, the group could not keep what they had built together as money and internal politics turned friend against friend. Look inside L0pht Heavy Industries, or simply The L0pht, one of the most influential hacker groups in history. From formation, to congressional testimony, to going legit and the aftermath that followed. 

Follow the hacker ‘Space Rogue’ as he takes you on a journey through the magical hacker scene of the 1990s. The L0pht hacker collective no longer exists, but its legacy lives on. L0pht set the standard for how the cyber security industry now releases vulnerability information. Famous hackers that were once L0pht members, Mudge, Weld Pond, Kingpin, Dildog, Space Rogue, and others have done even more impressive things in the following years. The hackers and consultants hired by @stake and indoctrinated into the L0pht way of thinking have now become giants in the industry. All the hackers who read security information off the L0pht’s website, downloaded software from the…
